For us to save planet Earth, we need to end oil and gas drilling around the world.
The thick oil has been the insulation barrier around the Earth’s core. With all the oil that’s been pumped out of the ground over the last 50 years, this has caused the world’s ice masses to melt in an alarming pace.
Take the case of Alberta, the muskeg never freezes anymore, they use rig mats made out of new 2x6s wired together. That way the drilling rigs and support vehicles don’t get stuck in the mud.
North and south poles are melting at an alarming rate. Australia has been drilling for oil and gas for a couple of years now.
Russia has been drilling for oil and gas for years, and Siberia has warmed extensively to the point it has melted most of their ice. We need to stop drilling for oil and gas now.
